Description
Welcome to ‘Build Your Own Guitar’

Inside is a complete step by step video for building your very own first (or best yet) guitar. I will guide you through the entire process starting with making your own set of patterns – these are among the many secret ‘tricks of the trade’ that enable you to make high quality instruments – faster and easier.

I will show you how to use your patterns to make one or a hundred guitars!

This course also includes my ebook on Tools and quick-start pages:

Tools for your first guitar

Wood and Parts for your first guitar

How hard can it be?

There are about 50-60 jobs to make a guitar – each one should take 10-20 minutes on average – it takes a certain level of commitment… and yes, it can be hard work.

If you want to be a guitar maker (or just make one for yourself) then I truly believe this is the best possible start you could get – short of actually working in a guitar workshop.

What’s in it for me?

Over eight hours of video – this course is the final product of many years of building guitars, running courses and writing to create a real and accurate instruction manual.

16 years of experience teaching over 400 student to build has taught me a lot:

how to break the process down into easy chunks

the right tools for the right job

the best order to do them in for best results

the most efficient way of doing each job – saving time and wasted effort

It is my aim to pass as much of this to you as I can – and save you a lot of time and heartbreak… this course is the next best thing to being here at my workshop.

Who is it for?

To get the most from this course it is highly recommended that you have already completed my other course Design Your Own Guitar – this is why it is included here for free.

Important!

I do recommend using a pre-made fretboard for your first build but have included two methods of making your own – just in case you are determined to do it the hard way!

You can ask me any question directly – or start an open discussion with our enthusiastic students. Remember you can watch the films over and over again.
